The GOP's confused inequality message -

Don’t ever accuse the Republicans of having nothing to say abou

t inequality. They have lots to say about it. Lots of different things.

Now that President Barack Obama has put inequality on the national agenda, the GOP is on the hunt for something to say. They’re making progress, with prominent Republicans adopting some of the latest ideas generated by conservative thinkers — everything from rewrites of antipoverty programs to new tax breaks for middle-class families.

And they’re challenging Obama’s seriousness in actually addressing the economic inequality he warned about. “We are facing an inequality crisis — one to which the president has paid lip service, but seems uninterested in truly confronting or correcting,” Sen. Mike Lee of Utah said in the tea party response to Obama’s State of the Union address.

But for all of the headline-grabbing speeches by their rising stars, the GOP still isn’t ready to finish this sentence: “And the Republican plan for inequality is …”

and they won't because their entire platform rest on the foundation of inequality, none of this and recent conversations would have happened if they weren't trying to defend it by trying to convince you it's not real, but now they can't ignore the truth so what do they do blame it on us because we don't try hard enough we rather have food stamps, 

because nobody around us works and our understanding of economy is dealing drugs, doesn't matter what race yu are if you are an American you should be appalled by those remarks from republicans.

 But leading Republicans and conservative thinkers say it’s fine to keep hashing out the solutions — because for the GOP, it’s progress just to be talking about the issue at all.

“I think there is a general consensus that Republicans have solutions, so it’s something we should be talking about,” said Lanhee Chen, Mitt Romney’s former policy director. “The only way we’re going to grow our constituency and get more people to vote Republican is to address some of these issues head on.”

That was a major theme of the Growth and Opportunity Project report, the Republican National Committee-led effort to examine the lessons of its losses in 2012. The report warned that “if we are going to grow as a Party, our policies and actions must take into account that the middle class has struggled mightily and that far too many of our citizens live in poverty.

To people who are flat on their back, unemployed or disabled and in need of help, they do not care if the help comes from the private sector or the government — they just want help.”

and then they set about the same game on a different day which is nothing, as far as them having solutions they don't they talked about their plan but then told us they'll tell us what it is after the election tick, tick, tick. they have done nothing but talked about it probably like this "oh that nah kick the can" it no longer works to say "we need to talk about, or we are talking about..." they only talk about denial.

It’s not really about inequality. The one general area of consensus, most Republicans say, is that “opportunity” is the better way to frame the debate, rather than focusing on the income inequality that Obama and liberal Democrats like New York Mayor Bill de Blasio have talked about. To Republicans, a lack of economic opportunities is what causes inequality in the first place.

Lee, who talked about an “opportunity crisis” in a speech to The Heritage Foundation last year — lack of mobility for the poor, middle-class insecurity and too much privilege for political and economic elites — reframed the same three points as an “inequality crisis” when he gave the tea party response to Obama’s speech.

But Republicans note that even Obama has shifted gears. Even though he talked about the huge gap between average wages and the income of the wealthiest Americans, the slogan he’s using now is, “Opportunity for All.”

there is where they get tangled they talk of something that they have no intention of implementing and the coup de grace blame Obama for it.
